Trivia about Beyblade

On July 12, 2008, Takara Tomy released Metal Fight: Beyblade, the second generation of the toy.

Both the toys and their names were inspired by the Beigoma, a traditional Japanese spinning top.

The concept is similar to Battling Tops, a spinning top game developed in 1968, and to the traditional spinning top games of topac, gasing pangkah, and pambaram and the previous Japanese toy line of Spin Fighters (1993–1997).

The toy line was introduced with an accompanying manga series of the same name in 1999.

The manga ran from 1999 to 2004, with the anime running for 3 seasons from 2001 to 2003 with 51 episodes per season.

In 2002, Hasbro sold Beyblade toys internationally (under license from Takara) along with a coordinated country-by-country release of localized versions of the television show.
